    Abstract The heat-stable peptidase AprX, secreted by psychrotolerant Pseudomonas species in raw milk, is a major cause of destabilization and premature spoilage of ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk and milk products. To enable rapid detection and quantification of seven frequent and proteolytic Pseudomonas species (P. proteolytica, P. gessardii, P. lactis, P. fluorescens, P. protegens, P. lundensis, and P. fragi) in raw milk, we developed two triplex qPCR assays taking into account species-dependent differences in AprX activity. Besides five species-specific hydrolysis probes, targeting the aprX gene, a universal rpoB probe was included in the assay to determine the total Pseudomonas counts. For all six probes, linear regression lines between Cq value and target DNA concentration were obtained in singleplex as well as in multiplex approaches, yielding R² values of > 0.975 and amplification efficiencies of 85–97%. Moreover, high specificity was determined using genomic DNA of 75 Pseudomonas strains, assigned to 57 species, and 40 other bacterial species as templates in the qPCR. Quantification of the target species and total Pseudomonas counts resulted in linear detection ranges of approx. 10³–10⁷ cfu/ml, which correspond well to common Pseudomonas counts in raw milk. Application of the assay using 60 raw milk samples from different dairies showed good agreement of total Pseudomonas counts calculated by qPCR with cell counts derived from cultivation. Furthermore, a remarkably high variability regarding the species composition was observed for each milk sample, whereby P. lundensis and P. proteolytica/P. gessardii were the predominant species detected. KEY POINTS: • Multiplex qPCR for quantification of seven proteolytic Pseudomonas species and total Pseudomonas counts in raw milk • High specificity and sensitivity via hydrolysis probes against aprX and rpoB • Rapid method to determine Pseudomonas contamination in raw milk and predict spoilage potential

    Abstract In light of the increasing number of serious food borne outbreaks caused by emetic Bacillus cereus, a better understanding of the cereulide synthetase (ces) gene expression and toxin synthesis is required. Here, the relative expression levels of three ces genes (cesP, cesA and cesB) were investigated using quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR in relation to growth, degree of sporulation and toxin production of the emetic reference strain B. cereus F4810/72 and the weakly emetic strain IH41385. The strict co-transcription of all three genes confirmed the operon structure of the ces gene cluster responsible for cereulide formation. ces transcription turned out to be highly temporal and tightly regulated; ces mRNA was only detectable during mid to late exponential growth in both strains. The low toxigenic potential of the weakly emetic strain IH41385 correlated well with its respective ces transcripts, showing reduced activity at a transcriptional level. Two non-sporulating mutants (F4810/72Δspo0A and F4810/72INsigH) demonstrated that cereulide synthesis is part of the Spo0A regulon but independent of later sporulation processes. Besides strain specific intrinsic factors, ces transcription was found to be significantly influenced by the cellular growth state as well as by extrinsic abiotic factors, like salt. An increase of sodium chloride in the media resulted in lower ces transcription and coincided with lower cereulide toxin levels. Interestingly, at 25 gl(-1) NaCl, toxin levels were already reduced without strongly affecting the growth of B. cereus, indicating an inhibitory effect of NaCl on cereulide biosynthesis independent of growth. This illustrates that ces gene expression and toxicity cannot be predicted solely from growth rates or cell numbers, but is influenced by complex interactions of various intrinsic as well as extrinsic factors, which remain to be clarified in detail.
